I got something on the 715 the other day, not sure what it was but it looked like Volgren bodywork. It was very pleasant to ride unlike the Meridian I had before it (M333 SLT) which seems like it doesn't have long left before withdrawal due to age. Does anyone know how old they actually are? |

The Meridians were new to SLT in April 2009. They were built earlier than that though, as stock vehicles, as I believe the body numbers are from an earlier Wright series, not the 2008/9 one they would have fitted in to if they were new builds. Edit - these Meridians have AA series bodies, which indicate they were built in 2007. They would have an AC series body if new in 2009. _______________ Formerly MX59 JZJ |

If it was a Volgren Bodied Bus i'd be Ecstatic my favourite bodied buses i never got to see the new Deckers in the flesh before i left Aus and i'm a huge fan of the Tri Axle Volvo's/Scania's at BBT thats how you build a bus! I'd assume it was a Tempo? T900SLT was on the 610/4 this evening along with a Solo Bring Back Arriva Skelmersdale |

Maybe it could have been a Preston Esteem, just thinking something that B10M may be unfamiliar with in the area. |
